Top 1ers for AK's birthday: In the flight of the first four wines, there were 3 Vosnes and 1 Gevrey. Most felt that the Cathiard was the Gevrey but the minority (including myself) said that this had to be the Gevrey since it was the outlier stylistically. Slightly cloudy in appearance, especially compared to the three Vosnes that were brilliant ruby red in colour. Older style of Fourrier with more earthy and rustic notes before he transitioned to the high-toned, less dense style of today. Guessed ‘08 based on the colour and high acidity. Quite integrated and resolved but the fruit did become more expressive with air.
Perplexing because it does not look clear and if I have any experience of soupy wine it is with 06s. Outshines a Roumier CM Village 06 on the night but that is no fair contest. From my recollection there was so much more delineation in the 07.

We opened this after a bottle of 13 mugneret ruchottes that needed more air and this really delivered. Was open at first pour. Lively nose and palate with tons of red fruit, slight spiced and good length. A very good wine. 2006's in general are drinking well now and this Fourrier confirmed that. with more air the 13 ruchottes did outshine it at the end.

Cloudy color.Deep nose with farmyard and soil elements. Good but a touch rustic like most 2006.

Next to 06 Griotte. Green, citrus, red-fruited, mineral, spice. Always a very consistent Fourrier vintage. 93-94
